Elk Seen With Wine Bottle In Mouth, Explains Why 'Grandma Got Run Over'

EVERGREEN, Colo. (CBS4) - An elk was spotted in Evergreen on Wednesday holding a wine bottle in its mouth.

Lori Vina Guelich captured a series of photos after she says the animal picked through a neighbor's recycling bin that was sitting on the curb.

Guelich said the elk chose a red wine, probably "to go with the white snow or to pair with his leafy greens."
